Everyone at Linden Cohousing is expected to participate in the life of the community, whether it be serving on a committee, cleaning our common areas, weeding the gardens or organizing social events. There is a recognition that some folks have barriers to participation, such as health limitations or full-time work and childcare responsibilities; however most everyone can do something. Twice a year we have a community-wide work day, which not only gets tasks accomplished, but allows for us to enjoy each other’s company while doing so.
